Addiction
Like a boatman on his ship
Where the vastness of sea only exists
The urge to float towards certain destination
When the compass is pointing to every direction!
And the pole star becomes the only mean!
Along the infinity stretch of a road
Like the high way covers North South corridor
And the urge to reach at its end
When i am completely unaware about which direction i meant!
Then in every itinerant I try to find a guide!
Like an astronaut being in space
Where darkness prevails despite trillions of stars
The urge to return to own birth place
The moment it experience the infinite vastness!
As if it knows why it was!
When urges emerged from survival instinct
Keen and focused every action we do
Again and again
No second thought mind bring for auction
Without any drug, such actions are from addiction!
As if we wish only this!
